Comparison Review

Comfort
The Land Rover Discovery Sport offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, with comparable head- and legroom. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Land Rover Discovery Sport or the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Land Rover Discovery Sport is much slimmer than the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Land Rover Discovery Sport is slightly shorter than the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Land Rover Discovery Sport has a larger turning radius than the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Land Rover Discovery Sport is clearly the choice over the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for pulling heavy loads. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Land Rover Discovery Sport does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The Land Rover Discovery Sport has less cargo space than the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
